Thread: Zis3 in a bad state?22 Aug 2018, 04:52 AM Guards button can save the Su76 from diving P4s and help finish off vehicles (mostly because the Su doesnt have to set up before firing) and the PTRS help compensate the reduced damage it does before vet2. Soft AT works against ostheer light vehicles, but OKW light vehicles force you into a Zis because they can pin your units and escape using smoke or have opressive firepower and mobility. Also the raketen its always there waiting to burst your fragile Su76 In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Zis3 in a bad state?21 Aug 2018, 05:37 AM For quite some time I've had my doubts about this unit. It constantly lets me down - Its expensive: 320mp you either chose guards, another support weapon or this thing. - Its so slow it has to be called on read and not on reaction. And its hard. - Its aim time and overall fire rate its abysmal. Light vehicles and Tanks can travel its arc of fire most of the time. The zis has a really bad time finishing off armored units - Struggles with terrain: terrain bumps op On the plus side - Good penetration: It can fight everything but the heavier axis armor (and can penetrate KT quite reliably from the side at mid-long range) - Vet2 power spike: it can fire as fast as a vet2 raketen. So it can eventually overcome its key weakness - 6 men squad: good survival to preserve its MANDATORY veterancy - Has a barrage: quite hit and miss but sometimes it drops some models. You get a better run for your ammo if you use it against squads in yellow cover I'm on the fence about its weird Vet1 ability Tracking. Yes, I've won matches by using yuri's psychic powers to reveal cloaked raketens and weapon crews but overall I think it would benefit more from having a small buff to its ROF at vet1 Also I found the Su76 better in most situations because its overall a better unit thats only weakness its being a vehicle and its weaker damage(120 vs zis 160). Su76 also synergize better with guards thanks to the button ability In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: How to use halftrack?21 Aug 2018, 05:00 AM Halftracks are usefull on longer maps Current uses on top of my head - Midgame Clowncar: A lone Mg/bunker? Move in with your engies and posibly another unit. Force its retreat, or push. Plant demos or use vision to destroy bunkers with a zis - AA: Its quite expensive 100 ammo quad excels at shooting down planes, just be carefull not to get your units wiped by the planes crashing - Saving manpower: Weapon crews are quite cheap (15mp vs 20mp of cons). It helps you to keep momentum as you dont have to retreat your cons after merging. But use it carefully, you dont have any other healing than the nurses on your base, so you should rotate low hp squads to back and forth. - Saving weapon crews: Sometimes your weapon crews are cought out of position. At guns cant retreat, so sometimes they are chased down by lone infnatry squads. The halftrack can keep reinforcing 15 mp models to the zis and help preserve its veterancy - And if you feel bold, get some guards on the M5 and chase down light vehicles. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Ægion's Mod [Update 9/10/2018]18 Aug 2018, 17:55 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2018, 04:56 AMAngrade (Ægion) Sorry for the late response. Life stuff had been keeping me occupied. Out of curiosity what ideas did you not like? I have been thinking of adjusting all the initial vehicles. I have modded in that the M3 would get a passive capture at vet 1. The other veterancy can be altered. Vet three could be suppression, and seeing its Front MG is a 50, vet 2 could increase penetration. I have thought also that the M3, WC51, and kubal could have some sort of mobility buff to make them more responsive. Mostly the overlap between cons and guards. Guards have access to the same doctrinal upgrades as cons while being a overall better combat unit. I think the founding blocks for a differentiation between both units its already in the mod. Cons, with their upgrade, offer hard utility (cover/building denial, snares, merge, URA, while they can also build green cover), Guards offer sheer combat power and their utility should be more limited. Upgrades and doctrinal abilities should go along those paths Also, nurses dont spawn on the HQ and the old build you are using contains A LOT of bugs that got patched along the way In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ægion's Mod [Update 9/10/2018]15 Aug 2018, 19:38 PM We played some matches with a pal using your mod. There are some really cool ideas along with others that are not. I wanted to ask what do you think of changing the M3 scout car vet from a useless speed/RA buff (useless because of the low HP and armor of the scout car) with a passive capture, like the kubel. M3 barely sees any use outside the first 5 minutes of the game, often because its too weak to whitstand any damage available at the start of the light vehicle phase and it gets outshined as a recon unit by the T70.
